FAQ
CAN I OBSERVE A CLASS BEFORE JOINING?
Absolutely! In fact, we request that everybody observes a class before joining. Contact Sifu Devin to set up a time to come by and view a class. From there we offer potential students a free trial class as a next step towards becoming a member.
ARE CLASSES PHYSICALLY DEMANDING? WILL THEY BE TOO HARD FOR ME?
The answer is yes and no. Classes are generally physically demanding, though you get out of it what you put into it. The student with the right training spirit is the one who continually seeks to push their limits one class at a time.

WHAT SHOULD I WEAR?
If you are just trying a class, then please wear something comfortable that you can move in.
Some general things to note:
-
Please remove ALL earrings and jewelry before stepping onto the training floor. If it can be ripped out chances are it will be.
-
avoid garments with lots of grommets, zippers, buckles, or any other metal/hard components as it will be hazardous for you and your training partners.
-
Hair should be kept out of your face. It is important to see what you’re doing at all times.
-
Keep your nails cut short. No one wants to be gouged!
-
Please refrain from overbearing fragrances or perfumes.

DO I NEED MY OWN SPARRING GEAR?
While the occasional set of smelly loaner gear may be available, we ask that all students obtain their own sets of gear for the sake of hygiene. Contact Sifu Devin if you have questions about what type of gear is best suited for our art. We have gear avaiable for purchase, or you're also welcome to obtain your own.
ANYTHING ELSE I NEED?
Once you become a member, you will need to purchase and attend wearing a proper training uniform. Black Gi top or School T-shirt for your torso, Black Karate/Kung Fu/Gi pants for your legs. Wear a cup if your body needs one.
If you have any questions please contact Sifu Devin.
